The premise of All My Puny Sorrows is so bleak that the movie could easily be a depressing slog to watch. What's remarkable about writer-director Michael McGowan's adaptation of Miriam Toews' bestselling novel is that it's often warm and funny, even when dealing with extremely heavy subject matter. McGowan and star Alison Pill give All My Puny Sorrows a sharp, self-aware sense of humor that goes a long way toward mitigating its darkness. However, that doesn't mean that the movie ignores the seriousness of Toews' story, which was inspired by events from her own life.
